I had no idea I was behind such a monster! I'd love to check out your car sometime.

Following a blacked out, lowered LGT sedan going in the back way to UMass Amherst from Hadley. I was following in the gold OBXT with the thunderous exhaust.

Robin, I dig your style. Aaaanyway, I saw a nice LGT sedan at UMass Amherst today in the yellow lot (lot 12) - nice 18" wheels, mesh grille, shiny mufflers. A membah?

Saw a nice white LGT sedan with mesh grille and springs in Easthampton today. Me in the gold OBXT, gave a highbeam flash.

Saw a nice SWP LGT sedan on 91 or 84 near Hartford yesterday. Homeboy wearing a red ballcap. Me in the loud, fast CGO OBXT.

I see OBXTs and LGTs all the time in Northampton/Amherst, but they all look and sound stock. The only modified Subis I ever see are WRXs and STIs. Meh. Anyway, if you see a CGO OBXT in the Pioneer Valley that sounds like a Harley, that would almost certainly be me.

#1) 225/55/17 Vredestein Wintrac Extreme (Winter) ($180 each) Driven 6000 miles on them so far (2005 OBXT, Stage 2.5) #2) Driving in a nasty New England winter - from NYC to northern Maine, I've used the tires #3) All street driving, no competition #4) 50% highway, 50% backroads and city #5) Tires used previously: Subi: RE92, Yokohama Advan S.4 (great all-season, but not a snow tire) - Landcruiser FJ62: Michelin A/T #6) Compared to my Yoko all seasons, the Vredestein tires (tyres) are a night-and-day improvement in snow. Right now there's two inches of half ice-half slush and I just carved through it like the roads are clear and dry. Stopping distances are much shorter than with all-seasons. The Vreds are V-rated (rare on a true snow tire) and perform just fine on dry, sandy, salty pavement. Can't tell if they're noisy because my exhaust is louder than any tires I've ever heard. Nokian-expensive and even harder to find, but well worth it in my opinion. Purchased at Direct Tire in Peabody, MA.

Saw 3 other OBXTs at REI in Reading the other day. Mine was the only modified one, it seemed.
